This board has turned out to be an excellent find at a good price for kids that seem to continually grow. My son was riding a 120cm board whenI made a deal on this Nitro Hazard 138 thinking he would start riding it next yr. Wrong, he strapped in and has not looked back. >From the top of summit lift on Mt Bachalor, in 2 ft of powder, to the board park, all you see if this little body (wearing a helmet)screaming down the hill at insane speeds under full control and having a ball. This board is a kids dream ride and a fathers savior.

Rideability--very good. Forgiving, stable, easy turning. Flex-- stiff for a board of this size and intended rider. Aggressive riding rewarded. Park and pipe-- excellent. Everything else-- fast stable ride, seems to not be too edge hooky, fast bottom, good edge hold. Construction-- Good looking board, durable with a super tough bottom and top deck. No signs of chipping or delam even with the no-brainer stunts kids seem to always try. Overall rating from 1-10, a 9. It don't get any better than this. Good job Nitro.

I am amazed, and a little worried, at the things my 9 yr old does on this board, like: coming down a black run completely sideways at 40 mph in spring crud with ice mixed in. Come on dads do your kids a favor and try the Nitro Hazard.
